Interesting Discourse by ev. EdwiR P. Parker, ID. D of Hartford-Speeial Lectures-ChurchM Music.

P. Parker. D ID. of Hartford-Spec101
 Lectures-Church Music.
 Rev. Edwin P. Parker, D. D., of Hartford, gave the first of his series of special lectures in the Marquand chapel before the Divinity school yesterday afternoon. The word hymn has been applied to a variety of musical com positions. Augustin's definition, "The praise of God in song," is a satisfactory one, including hymns of praise, of thanksgiving and of prayer. The hymn gives forth spirit which appeals to the spiritual and the melodious in the human soul. Nature awakens songful spirit in man. Such revelation of the heart and life of the Chris
 tian church as is given in it's hymns cannot
 be found. First, we have the book of David, the Psalms, invested with sacrednees and melody. The earlier distinctive Chris tian hymns were produced by a secondary inspiration derived from the Psalms, which contain fundamental notes of all Christian song. The primitive churches made free use of Christian song. Four-ifths of the Greek service books are filled with hymns. The vesper or lamp lighting hymn is one of the oldest. In the conflict against heresy in the East the contentious fought out in song, an example which New England in the controversy of to-day could initiate with benefit.
 In the second period from the fourth to the sixteenth century few in number are not tainted with the controversies. The ere Deum Laudamus' is ascribed to him, though portions of it were sung long before in the East. The Ambrosian school was prolific in popular hymns, though only very few were written by Ambrose himself. The hymns of this period are full of strength, dignity and objectivity. They were the first to set forth by the blood of Christ They were established in the ritual, chiefly through Benedict, in the sixth century. In the tran sitional period they gave way to clerical in donation and choir chants. The hymns of the medieval period are outbursts of the clerical life. We have only to study the poetry of the middle ages to know why the reformation was need ed. The German reformation in 1 troduces the third stage in hymnology. | The hymns are imbued with 8 peculiar | are popular and full of melody. ! John Huss was the author of the revolution ary sentiment. The German reformation sang it's way to success be- cause it embodied the gospel in hymns. Dr. Parker then traced the connec ton between the prominent hymns and those of the Bible, all of the former deriving | their inspiration and source from the latter He will continue the subject of "Hymnolo yy" this afternoon at three o'clock.

ELIHU VALE,

Copied from a Portrait 23O Years Old.
 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of Americas public benefactors. But greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache; no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen victim to that modern scourge, Mdlaria. Nothing on this earth will tone you up so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bittels, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and all forms of Malaria.

What ia a cold in tbe heada Med

What is cold in the head? Medical au- thorities say it is due to atmospheric germs, uneven clothing of the body, rapid cooling when in precipitation, etc. The important point is, that cold in the head is genuine rhinitis, inflammation of the lining mem brane of the nose, which, when unchecked, is certain to produce a catarrhal condition for catarrh is essentially "cold" which na- ture is no longer able to resolve'or throw off. Ely's Cream Balm has proved it's superiority, and sufferers from cold in the head should resort to it before that common ailment be- comes seated and ends in obstinate catarrh.

Absurd, twas so very queer"

Although have very few;
A dream very often warning seems"

We'll, hardly upon me were bent
All eyes, but I haughtily carried
My head quite high, for dreamt went
Down the aisle of church to be married
The wedding-march pealed out clear and
loud
And flowers sweet and rare,
Low trampled by the curious crowd,
With perfume filled the air.
There shyly walking by my side,
The sweetest girl knew,
Was soon to be my own dear bride;
How queer, that girl was your
"Me?' and her eyes so bright and clear,
She slyly yelled from view;
Il don't think it SO very queer,
You know some dreams come true"

The civil service reform leagues are
full of congratulations over the action OF
the President in establishing competitive
examinations for promotions in the
Washington departments. All the clerks
have now to undergo examination, and
must reach a certain grade to hold their
places at all. The result will doubtless be
to weed out a large number OF
EMPLOYEES and make vacancies to be
filed by new appointments. Whether
the system will result in securing fit men
for the higher grades Of work, where ex-
ecutive ability is required, is not SO GER
tain. Examinations of the sort are bet
ter calculated to find out what a man
knows than what he can do. However
great may be the value OF the
check interposed by the system upon the
bestowal of the office simply as the re-
ward of partisan activity, it will be de-
plorable if it should be made SO auto
matte and mechanical in its workings as
to destroy the superior dispatch and eff
cheney which our civil service now ex-
hibits in comparison with the dull and

resting on few wooden supports, which
alone prevented the children being hurled
